On March 4, 2024, bankruptcy cases were filed by Pillarstone OP, as well as Whitestone CP Woodland Ph. 2, LLC, Whitestone Industrial-Office, LLC and Whitestone Offices, LLC, the subsidiaries owning our Real Estate Assets other than Uptown Tower, which were consolidated into the jointly administered bankruptcy cases styled In re: Whitestone Industrial-Office, LLC, et. al., Case No. 24-30653-mvl-11, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division.
